This is a very good used example of the 5-3/4 x 8-1/4 inch, 24-page Nazi soft cover book Das Ehrenmal der deutschen Leistung im Ausland (The Monument for German Achievements Abroad) published by the Deutsches Ausland-Institut (German Foreign Institute) in Stuttgart in 1936.

The foundation Das Ehrenmal der deutschen Leistung im Ausland was headquartered in the Wilhelmspalast, the residence of the last Württemberg King Wilhelm II in Stuttgart, die Stadt der Auslandsorganisation. After the city of Stuttgart made the historic building complex available to the Nazi Party it was heavily refurbished and became the place dedicated to Germans living outside Germany, German colonial times, German culture abroad, German achievements abroad, etc. It was a place for education about Auslanddeutschtum, which roughly translates as "German Culture Abroad". Nowadays few people realize how highly National Socialists thought of Germans and German culture abroad, but they were the 43rd Gau (administrative district) of Germany under direct control of the Auslands-Organisations der NSDAP or AO and its Gauleiter Ernst Wilhelm Bohle.

This rare Third Reich book was published when the Ehrenmal der deutschen Leistung im Ausland opened, to explain its purpose and layout of the permanent exhibits in the Wilhelmspalast.

It starts with a quote by Adolf Hitler dated 23 March 1933 about Germans living outside Germany - people who are connected with us [Germans living in Germany] through the German language, German culture and customs and who fight for their destiny. It has pictures of the Wilhelmspalast, a map of downtown Stuttgart, der Deutsche Ring of the Führer, etc.

A rare Nazi publication in very good used condition.
